Rights holders for Elvis Presley's music and Eight Mile Style, which controls Eminem's catalog, have each filed separate lawsuits against Suno, alleging its AI music generator produced songs that imitate Presley's sound and mimic Eminem's lyrics. Suno told Variety it bans unauthorized use of artists' names and songs and works with third parties to screen for misuse.
A group holding rights to Elvis Presley's music and a publisher tied to Eminem's catalog have filed lawsuits against AI music generator Suno, alleging it produces songs and lyrics that mimic the artists' voices and styles. The Presley-related suit invokes Tennessee's ELVIS Act, which bars AI firms from cloning a performer's voice, while both complaints echo arguments from an earlier Jason Isbell lawsuit filed in September. Suno spokesperson Cat McCormack said the company blocks prompts naming specific artists and screens uploaded material for misuse.
Rights holders to Elvis Presley's music catalog, including Authentic Brands Group and Raleigh Music Publishing, filed suit against Anthropic on October 23rd seeking $41 million in damages. The complaint alleges Anthropic trained its AI models on 274 Presley songs, bypassing DRM protections and stripping copyright management information from 247 tracks including 'Don't Be Cruel' and 'Can't Help Falling in Love.'
